This same thing happened to me but in a lake just out of a boat. My 1yo daughter had a life jacket on but I didn’t as I’m also a strong swimmer and was just treading water. Realized super quickly that I couldn’t keep her safely afloat without sinking myself. Pretty scary 15 seconds until I got my family’s attention on the boat.
